M. Mann
Another
unexpected death was that of Mr. Mike Mann. Only a short time ago he was in the vigor and health of manhood,
looking after his business with care and zeal. His body now quietly sleeps in
Fairview cemetery, the result of an attack of pneumonia. His widow, children,
relatives and friends mourn his loss with a deep sorrow, and have the sympathy
of all in this great bereavement. The funeral services were conducted at the
residence Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock by Rev. D. W. Griffith.
M.
[ichael] Mann was born in
Delaware County, Ohio, in 1840. He was raised on a farm until 16 years of age,
after which he engaged with his father in the plastering business and followed
that occupation until the war broke out. He enlisted in the first call for 3
months volunteers, April 25, 1861, and on June 15, 1861, he again enlisted for
3 years, being assigned to Co. I, 3d Ohio infantry. He was one of the faithful
ones in the battles of Laurel Hill, Green Briar and many small skirmishes. The
following spring his regiment was ordered to South River, Kentucky, and
assigned to Gen. Mitchell. Here they engaged in the battle of Bowling Green,
took possession of the city and marched on to victory, reaching Huntsville,
Ala., where they camped some time. Afterwards he did duty all over that part of
the state, south and east. He served until the close of the war when he was
mustered out by general order at Columbus, Ohio, in January 1866. After the war
closed he came west with his parents and located on a farm 1 1/2 miles west of
Bedford, known as the Lindley farm. In July 1867, he engaged as clerk in the
store of Richards & Thompson. In 1872 he bought a half interest in the
business and moved the stock to Phillipsburg, Kansas. Their trade was mostly
with the Indians, hunters and trappers. January 1, 1875, he sold his interest
back to his partner and returned to Bedford, and engaged with Samuel Bliss, of
Chicago, and for three years traveled on the road as salesman. He then engaged
in the grocery business until 1888, when he engaged in the ready-made clothing
and gents furnishing business. He quit this business to engage in the racket
store trade, in which business he engaged until his death.
Mr.
Mann was married to Miss
Samantha Dowlin in 1870, and to
this union two daughters were born, both of whom survive him. Cora [Annette], the eldest daughter, is the wife of J.
[ustin] E. Moody, Mr. Mann's
partner in business, and Tressa [Myrtle] is the wife of Harry
Thomas, proprietor of the Court
street barbershop.

The Funeral of Mrs.
Anna Montgomery
The funeral of Mrs.
Anna R. [uth] Montgomery was held
at the Christian church yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The inclement weather
prevented many from being present who would otherwise have been there; still
the attendance was quite large. Rev. Lee Furgeson in his discourse paid a
glowing tribute to the life just closed, and his words brought comfort to the
bereaved hearts mourning for wife, mother and friend who had departed forever.
The floral offerings were beautiful, and the songs touching and appropriate. In
spite of threatening rain and almost impassable roads quite a concourse of
friends accompanied the remains to Fairview Cemetery, where she was laid to
rest to await the great awakening.

Death of Mrs.
Montgomery
Mrs.
Annie R. [uth] Montgomery, nee Annie
R Haller, died at her home in
this city, early Tuesday morning, March 29, 1904, of typhoid fever.
She
was married to Harlan Montgomery June 28, 1888, who, with three children, mother, three brothers, one sister and
three stepchildren, remain to mourn their loss. All of her married life had
been spent in Bedford and vicinity, where she had a large circle of devoted
friends.
She
united with the Christian church under the ministry of Eld. J. P. Lusa when she
was 16 years old, and from that time till death was found in the first ranks
battling for the cause of her Master and letting her "light so
shine."
Her
loss to the community will be felt considerably, but especially will she be
missed at the services of the church of which she was a faithful member.
The
funeral services will be held at the Christian church at 1 p. m. today, March
31st, and will be conducted by Lee Furgeson, her pastor, who preaches the
sermon from 2 Cor. 4:16-18, 5:1-8—"The resurrection as a fact, and
its consequences."
The church is beautifully decorated, and
a profusion of flowers silently attest the great esteem in which she was held.

DEATH OF MRS. ANNA
MONTGOMERY
A Loving Mother Called
Home--Sad Bereavement of Father and Little Ones
Mrs.
Anna R. [uth] Montgomery, nee Heller
[Haller], died at her home in
Bedford at 3 o'clock this morning of typhoid fever, aged 33 years, 10 months
and 20 days. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Lee Furgeson at the
Christian church at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The interment will be at
Fairview cemetery.
Mrs.
Montgomery is the wife of Harlan
Montgomery, and besides the
bereaved husband, she leaves three little children to mourn the irreparable
loss of a loving wife and a devoted mother.
Death
in any form, and under any circumstances, can be contemplated only with horror;
but when, in the bloom of young womanhood, a devoted wife and mother is laid
low by the grim reaper, leaving her young children never more to know the
loving touch of the mother's hand, it is then that dissolution presents itself
in its most sorrowful guise.
She
had been sick about two weeks, and though administered to by the best medical
talent, and attended by the loving hands of her family and friends, the angel
of death had touched her with his wand and human aid could not avail.
Mrs.
Montgomery was the daughter of William
Heller [Haller] who long since preceded his daughter to the
other world. Her mother, Mrs. Heller [Ruth Ann Chaney], and her brothers and sisters survive her. The
deceased was born and raised in Bedford, and a host of friends who have known
her since early childhood, sympathize with the bereaved family in their
affliction.
At
an early age she united with the Christian church, and all her life she was a faithful,
conscientious Christian, and the great consolation her sorrowing friends have
is that she has exchanged a life where sorrow, pain and disappointment is the,
lot of all, for a state of pure and unalloyed felicity.
